Gamma-ray detectors like the one described in thepreceding problem often use calorimetry to determinegamma-ray energies. Suppose a beam of 100-MeVgamma rays strikes a target with a mass of 2.5 kg andspecifi c heat 430 J/(kg # K). How many gamma rays areneeded to raise the targets temperature by 10 mK?
